I bought some full length headers for my car. Is there anything I need to remove/move so that they go in easily?

Also how about setup options, true dual exhaust, cat-back? What is your exhaust setup, tips, info.? 8)

make sure you put them in from the bottom right off the hop. 95% of the time they wont fit from the top.

and go true duals. I am running 2 1/2" duals with magnaflow mufflers and it sounds mean.

makesure you have it jacked up (with stands of course ) ALOT, you need the front up a good distance to get them in, i had to for my cutlass anyways they had to slip in almost vertical at one point, also i had to take the oil filter off, the starter out, and the ac/brackets. it will say in the intructions if you have them, mine were flowtech but i dont see it being much different. hope this helps

the malibu was probably less than five inches from hitting the back bumper on the ground. same way. starter and oil filter were off. went it kinda smoothly. so yeah you will have some scars on your knuckles when your done! but hey, what is it without a little blood and tears?

I got the header back 2.5" pypes system with the x pipe and SS style tails and aside from haveing to buy new collector extensions and trimming the front two legs from the extensions it fit great. And being stainless it looks as good as it fits. I did have to get the G Force crossmember, but as with any G Body you'll either need a new crossmember or have to modify yours. Definatly go with a tru system though, ear candy with the right mufflers. Good luck.
